The Happiness Thread

Just came back from the most amazing holiday of my entire life. I don't want to express all this journey was for me, but there were surprises aplenty for me. With people met, with insights into myself, you name it. And the landscape of Svalbard is just amazing. I am already contemplating going back there next year or the year afterwards *sigh*

 

I just bought and installed my birthday present to myself: Sibelius music notation software! Now I can make professional-looking scores out of the music in my head! Woohoo!

 

Check out what I got in the mail today...

 

Um, I posted my RP idea in the RP Kick start. I am hop in people will join, and I've been thinking about it and writinit for about a week, and I've finally posted so that makes me happy.

 

HOLY SHIT, I HAVE DONE IT!! I HAVE DONE IT!!

I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE YOUTUBE VIDEOS LONGER THAN A MINUTE! I CAN DO LET'S PLAYS NOW!!

WATCH!!

 

My (younger) brother took me surfing for the first time. It was amazing, and I can't wait to make it a permanent bonding activity with him. Feels like a great make-up for my childhood

 

Things have been extremely rough the past month. I am grateful for the people who have agreed to help me when I asked. One bit of happiness amid all the chaos:

Months ago, I rescued some hyacinth bulbs from a garden that was discarding them. One of them finally sprouted again, although I had just recently given up on them.

I really have a soft spot for old/discarded things. Glad to see some things can thrive again with some care.

 

Just have to share this... I am laughing myself silly!

 

Re-playing Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga has brought back a lot of memories. I forgot how much I loved this game. I also decided to buy Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens to continue the fun. Later on today, I'll see if I can't find Lego Harry Potter in stores.


Nostalgia kicked me hard in the tail today, apparently.

 

Understanding makes me happy. And a new laptop. If I ever get another one I think I'll buy one of those really thin ones. New computers, new phones.

ATT told me I could upgrade my iPhone for the sales tax!

Is this what this thread is for? Sorry! Didn't read the original post.

 

Now THIS makes me happy:

 

Invisibility is great! No worries. Just flying around like I know what I'm doing.

 

Where is the VERY happy thread? The delighted thread? The overjoyed thread? C'mon kids we can do better than this!

 

Wine bottles without a cork. All you need is one screw & you're on your way!

 

My granddaughter is so sweet. She's so excited about her big brother's 18th birthday. She's so creative! She decorated a really cool glass container and put 18 colored notes in it and called it "18 Memories." Made me happy.

 

First time in a long time I've been happy @2:50 am. Maybe there's hope. A little 'unwinding' helps, ya think?

 

I'm spending the night with my daughter, watching football & movies and drinking wine, beer, & dad's best damn root beer & eating pizza - no better life than this! Oh & playing on the internet now & then. Online websites have been making me sick lately but I'm trying to get over it. An endless journey as long as cyber stalkers still get away with what they do. BUT like I said -- on to better things, right?

 

You just think there's no privacy on the internet.

 

I don't have just one, but three scheduled interviews for new job positions in the following week.

 

Hey, cool! I've been searching myself & found mine yesterday. Good luck! Seriously, good luck! Work - not on the internet - is what keeps me alive! Plus, I need the money.

 

It's hard to swim upstream but I'll find a way!

 

I hope it's ok if I say I don't have the slightest idea what anyone is talking about & I think I'm happy that way!

 

I am grateful for still being able to formulate and acknowledge thoughts. And especially thankful to still be able to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

What a mess.

 

I want to say something. Don't know where to say it so I'll say it here. I love this song by Alicia Keys. It's about New York but to me it's about places or people who inspire you. I could listen to it over and over. Almost makes me cry every time because I'm so thankful for my inspirations. I feel like people don't understand sometimes what it would mean to have an inspiration removed from your life, or what it means to have someone use that inspiration for something other than what it was intended. It breaks my heart....

 

Typhoon coming in, got the day off with pay from my full-time job WOO-HOO!
